[issue23666] Add shell session logging option to IDLE

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger:

IDLE's interactive shell supports File / Save to save an interactive session.  However, if a user restarts a session or accidentally exits without saving, all is lost.

In Python courses I've taught, there has been a recurring request for an auto-logging feature (save the session at some regular interval).  This would help user's record everything they type during a Python class.

I suggest an addition to the File menu (for the interactive shell only): Session Logging Enable/Disable.
